    hi,im on day 3 now.i am in total agony.phoned docs lastnite for some tramadol instead of cocodamol,as they are doing nothing for the pain whatsoever.i cant even lift myself up by myself.my boobs are still numb.how long does this last for? Im going to have a bath today and get my husband to wash my hair.it wil also be a relief to take my bra of for 10mins while i have a bath and let a bit of air in.my sides are also achin frm where the drains had been put and are all bruised.it probably doesnt help that i am rhesus negative,so i bruise easily.dont mean to moan,i knew the pain would be bad,but not this bad.i had 460’s,i dont know if this makes any difference.i would like to hear if u had severe pain,how long it lasted for and when the numbness went away from your boobies? Many thanks,claire

    Hi Claire – me again your stalker!! LOL..

    Have you got your Tramadol yet?? i think thisis why you are in so much pain as they should never have just give you Cocodomol, especially being Rhesus neg!

    My boobs are numb and I can’t move well, bruised and ithy – but the pain is now bearable (worse than yesterday though!) I think this is due to Tramadol.. just feel sick when I eat So i will prob be a size 6 after the recovery period!!

    Let me know when you have your tramadol, I have safety pinned my bra closer together too to make them go closer!!

    Thinking of you hunny xxx

    hiya chick, have 2 tramadol when you first get them.. I so hope they work for you, I had a dressing over where I had drains out but I took it off today as started to irritate me!! My bra is fine except I have pulled it in at the middle and safety pinned it, I have not had a bath as Mr aurakzi said I should not enter a bath for 6-8 weeks after op, going to have shower and just get bottom half wet.. The nurse rang today and said DON’T have shower and get boobs wet for a week.. but Mr Aurakzi said it was fine so not sure what to do! my boobs are really swollen and numb but thats to be expected,

    speak soon xx

    Hi there im 9 days post op..today is the best day ive had so far..my right boob didnt give me much jib anyway but my left been a nightmare..all swollen and dumb been bk see mr adamo he said swelling due to some trapped blood it has been a nightmare my boob bigger than the other then the pain and swelling i had that cocodamol and paracetamol i found that really good but stopped as kept going dizzy on it was quite scary…my swollen 1 seems a tiny bit better today consid im told this can take up to 2 mnths to heal…wearing a bra i thinks helps as least ya held in but my god this itching scars are nightmare since dressings off…

    funny how quick they settle though as say day day 9 i can move my boobs a lil there getting spongy and dropped some too xx

    just had my second lot of tramadol.ditto with the dizziness,we just need to be carefull. Are u boobs a bit of an odd shape,and are your nipples where they was before or slightly to the side? Have u been taking pics? Take care x

    I got told that they may be a odd shape for at least few months so I am not worrying.. I have taken pics before and after.. each day too.. massive differene from when I was in hospital, my boobs are wider apart than they were before but they will come closer once they go softer.. I am sat with a hot water bottle wrapped in a towell in my back (shoulder blades) I would recommend it. it relaxes your front and has helped me ;-)

    have you being taken pics? I would not worry about shape yet hunny.. they won’t be perfect till they have settled xx
